New wheel bearing!!!

Postby spryboy1974 » Sat Dec 30, 2006 5:22 pm

Just to let you know that i fitted a new front wheel bearing to my GTA today and it is the same as a Renault 25 item.

It cost me £20 + vat, from German and Swedish!

Can't see how Renault can justify £95 + vat!!!

it is to cover the cost of the plush parts department and lounge area...... while you wait for your parts.
